Yes, much clearer.
Marianatd (asker) Jul 11, 2008:
context This is a letter from the building owner to the contractor claiming compensation for delays in the works. The works refer to "empreitada de terraplanagem e estacas" and more particularly the owner claims a compensation for delays in the execution of the "obra de estacas cravadas". Is this more clear?
jack_speak Jul 11, 2008:
can we have some more context, Mariana? What is the nature of the contract and what type of entities are the contracting parties?
